We met in the summer of 2000 and quickly became friends. As time went on, we realized how well we liked one another, which over time became a deep commitment and love. Over time we developed a strong relationship, discovering many common interests. Regularly traveling together, with several trips to Europe, even celebrating milestone birthdays abroad, as well as many trips within the United States. It was on a trip to Scotland and Germany last summer, for our nephew’s wedding, that we decided we would finally make our relationship official. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone as we celebrate this important milestone in our lives.
